Dear family and everyone else, The news...Well...Total stress bomb for me, but...I...Will beTraining! I have no idea who my next companion will be until tomorrowmorning when I am at the mission office. There you have it folks. I,Elder White, have officially given the last of my will for the Lord'swill. Not that I haven't given my all, I HAVE. I'm still out here,right? Anyway, I'm very nervous and also somewhat excited to meetthis/these new elder(s). In other news, Sally Ann Molinari got baptized as planned Sunday-August 28th, 2016. She waited for 4 years for this moment to finallyhappen. She finally came up with the courage to give up smoking forgood. After all, this is Elder Shepherd's last baptism before heleaves the area tomorrow. He then flies home Wednesday and gets homeThursday morning at about 1 in the morning. His stake president willalso be there to release him immediately after he gets off the planeso he can go to bed and not worry any more about being a missionary.His stake president gets up that early anyway for work, so it allworks out for both of them. He has enjoyed much of his mission. Isay farewell Elder Shepherd, until we shall meet again. The only other thing worth mentioning is that I had dinner lastnight with the Hokanson's, and then we had dessert with the Nate's. Itwas a good dessert of bun cakes with icing. It was a night to rememberright before transfer calls came. Brother Nate was the first to knowbefore I let anyone else know. These last few months have been thetime to prepare for this final event. I think about this one video onmormonchannel.org about: "The Will of God." I ponder those words thatHugh B. Brown and Elder Christofferson have said and what they reallymean for me. It really puts things into perspective every time we arecut down, only to bear greater strength and more fruits for our laborscalled spiritual growth. May we all remember what it means to bebrought to humility to serve the Lord and give up ourselves for thebenefit of others growth. As we help others, we not only help them, orthe other person, but we also help the Lord. I bear witness of the love that Heavenly Father and his belovedson Jesus Christ have for each of us. They will always hear ourprayers. They will always help us when we are in great need.
